So Nikita just pushed the new site to https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne-website.git (mirrored at [email protected]:apache/cayenne-website.git).
I like the new docs system a lot. Version selector, expanding table of contents are all very nice. IIRC we are still porting the docs (e.g. 4.0 docs are not there). A few comments: 1. We might want to remove Apache license from the visible HTML at the top of each "book". E.g. http://localhost:3000/docs/4.1/cayenne-guide/ Unlike the previous version of the site, the license font is practically the same as the main text and just looks annoying. A license in a PDF book probably makes sense. A license the web site is redundant. 2. I couldn't figure out how to reorder the books in the left-hand menu for a given version. 3. Is there a way to use a different name for the book in the menu from the book's title? E.g. a standalone book might be called "Cayenne Getting Started Guide", while in the menu it can be shortened to "Getting Started". 4. There's no way to collapse an expanded menu once you start scrolling. This makes it hard to say jump from the main docs to a tutorial. Perhaps at least we can make the top-level menu items visually stand out? 5. @Nikita - what is your plan on switching the docs to Asciidoctor? I'd like to make some docs edits, but we are kind of in the middle of a switch from one docs system to another, so I don't want to get in the middle. I assume we can't switch to Asciidoctor without completely switching to the new website?
